Scattering in multilayered structures: Diffraction from a nanohole

A New Theorem Concerning Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves in Multilayered Metamaterial Spherical Structures

The proposed theorem in this paper is indicative of a kind of duality in the propagation of waves in the dual media of and in the spherical structures. Independent of wave frequency, the number of layers, their thickness, and the type of polarization, this theorem holds true in case of any change in any of these conditions. Theorem: Consider a plane wave incident on a multilayered spheric...

Theory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures

A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...

Structures in Anisotropic Multilayered Media

Applying the concept of spectral domain representation, the moment method or the point-matching procedure and Green's function theory, a unified approach for the computation of the static capacitance of single, coupled and comb-like metallic structures in anisotropic multilayered media is presented. The media can be electrically shielded on one or both sides. The geometry of the parallel strips...

Multilayered Amorphous Silicon Structures

Scattering from supramacromolecular structures.

We study theoretically the scattering imprint of a number of branched supramacromolecular architectures, namely, polydisperse stars and dendrimeric, hyperbranched structures. We show that polydispersity and nature of branching highly influence the intermediate wave vector region of the scattering structure factor, thus providing insight into the morphology of different aggregates formed in poly...
